Shadow World, Land of Chaos
The location of Leo and Yaoyao's Soul Anchor!
The soul statue used to depict Yaoyao stepping on Leo, Black Soluo, and Baturu.
At this moment, only Leo remained beneath the Yaoyao statue, still holding the World Tree's soul seal.
The statues of Baturu and Black Soluo disappeared the moment they exploded!!
"Wake up, wake up, you're not dead yet, stop pretending to be asleep."
Yaoyao plopped down on Leo's face and began slamming her body against Leo cheek.
After bumping into things countless times, Leo finally opened his dazed eyes.
The two tearing apart of his soul within a short period of time caused Leo to lose most of his memories and suffer serious cognitive errors.
His eyes were staring blankly, completely unfocused, as if he had no sense of existence whatsoever!
To put it simply, Leo is an idiot, a fool!
"Snap out of it, snap out of it! We still need to go back to the Barbarian World. Wake up!" Yaoyao shouted in Leo's ear.
It seemed like a familiar voice was bringing Leo back to his senses, and his numb eyes began to move slightly.
The change was immediate; the eyes regained their perception, and the pupils regained focus.
"Hiss"
The first thing Leo did after regaining consciousness was to clutch his head in pain and gasp for breath.
The pain of being torn apart twice was more intense than any physical injury. My mind went completely blank, and I dared not think about anything.
Trying to think about it even for a moment, Leo was instantly in so much pain that her eyes rolled back in her head!
When I opened my mouth to speak, the pain returned, and my body felt as if it didn't belong to me; my consciousness and body seemed to completely separate.
In his final moments before losing consciousness, Leo mustered all his strength to utter four words to Yaoyao, "Go back, you arrange it."
Those four words exhausted Leo's strength, and he lost consciousness, falling into a coma once again.
"Damn, this injury is so serious. Luckily, I have Little Bookworm, otherwise my life would be over."
"You can't die yet. There are still so many things waiting for us to do. We haven't even had a chance to tell you about the Shadow World."
Yaoyao grabbed Leo's shoulder and vanished instantly, only to reappear in a demiplane outside the Barbarian World.
Leo tossed his body into the demiplane, Yaoyao to the Hundred-Page World in Leo's hand, said, "Quickly call all your brothers here and hurry up and revive Black Soluo and Baturu. If we're any later, Leo might just die."
"Without Leo, who knows when your next master will appear."
A Two-Colored Little Bookworm appeared from the Hundred-Page World, looking worriedly at the unconscious and weak Leo, a mysterious aura emanating from him.
Yaoyao knew that this was a special connection between them, the Little Bookworm, who could communicate regardless of distance within a certain range.
After a few breaths,
The red Little Bookworm No. 001,
The yellow Little Bookworm No. 003.
The green Little Bookworm No. 004.
The two colors, 006 and 077, both Little Bookworm, appeared on Leo's chest.
For Little Bookworm no bigger than a thumb, Leo's body was like a vast plain.
Yaoyao said to the four Little Bookworm, actually Little Bookworm No. 004, "You have the physical bodies and soul essence of Baturu and Black Soluo. Quickly revive them."
"No problem."
Don't worry, we've got your back.
Little Bookworm No. 004 immediately nodded in agreement, then turned around and whispered to Bookworm 001 and the other Two-Colored Little Bookworm.
In Yaoyao's sight, Little Bookworm No. 004 disappeared into the Hundred-Page World, while the Two-Colored Little Bookworm also returned to the Hundred-Page World.
Little Bookworm No. 001, fearing that Yaoyao wouldn't understand, explained in a low voice, "Although we brothers all have our own spaces, Baturu and Lord Black Soluo are Supreme Lord, and our third and fourth brothers' bodies can't withstand their recovered state."
"Furthermore, restoring the true form of the Supreme Lord consumes an astonishing amount of energy, so the resurrection ritual must be performed in the Hundred-Page World. Currently, as long as there is enough energy within the Hundred-Page World of Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi."
"If you'd like to see it, we can go in together."
Yaoyao stood on Leo's body, her claws gripping Leo body tightly. She shook her head and refused the invitation from Little Bookworm No. 001.
Although he was curious about the ability of Little Bookworm No. 004 to restore all their bodily functions with just a little soul and physical information, he couldn't leave Leo.
If he leaves now, then the unconscious Leo will completely lose his ability to protect himself.
If a treacherous opponent were to appear at this moment, they wouldn't need to be too strong; a level four opponent would be enough to kill Leo.
He cannot leave Leo until Leo recovers.
With him around, we can enter the Shadow World at any time, and he can save our lives no matter who comes.
During the battles with the Cosmic Wanderer and Bloodline Controller, he remained in the Shadow World, preserving Leo's last escape route.
Ultimately, it was he who sensed the deaths of Black Soluo and Baturu, and through the soul binding, found the unconscious Leo in the chaotic space.
Without Yaoyao, Leo, though he escaped from the hands of the Cosmic Wanderer and the Bloodline Controller, would have died completely in the chaotic space.
Just like the first World Lord's corpse that Leo obtained, it died in the Chaos Space!
Yaoyao originally thought that it would take a long time to revive Black Soluo and Baturu, after all, they were Supreme Lord.
Unexpectedly, less than a month later, Baturu and Black Soluo each walked out of the Hundred-Page World.
"To be resurrected from the dead—an ability that completely defies the rules—is truly terrifying!"
Black Soluo seemed still immersed in the moment of his self-destruction and death, never expecting that he would be back in the Barbarian World after his resurrection.
The entire process had absolutely no sense of the passage of time; if one didn't know they had already died, they would never have noticed the time gap within it!
"It's not that we've broken the rules. According to Little Bookworm's abilities, we haven't completely died out. Both our souls and bodies retain a sliver of life, and we're still within the bounds of the universe's rules," Baturu said.
Then Baturu's gaze fell on Leo, who was lying unconscious on the demiplane with only a level five aura and a severely injured soul.
"If you don't hurry up and heal your physical soul injuries, I'll beat you all up one by one."
Yaoyao was a little angry. What kind of time was this to be discussing the principle behind why the Little Bookworm could revive them?
"Coming right now, coming right now."
Embarrassed, Baturu and Black Soluo immediately grabbed Leo, their bodies flowing into Leo's body like water.
In an instant, Leo, who had just been unconscious, completed his three-headed, six-armed form!
The sluggish aura surged wildly, breaking through the Supreme Lord in the blink of an eye and unleashing its unparalleled pressure across the entire galaxy!
Leo, who had been unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes showed no trace of vacant focus or unfocused light; instead, they shone brightly, clearly indicating that the damage to his soul had healed!
"Call"
Leo, as if resurrected from the dead, exhaled a long breath.
The battle with the Bloodline Controller was the most terrifying battle I had experienced since I was at a low level, and also the battle in which I was most severely suppressed.
Those two are too strong.
Leo originally wanted to persist for ten days, but he couldn't even last Heavenly Capital.
If it weren't for Baturu and Black Soluo's sudden self-destruction at the last moment, creating a powerful energy storm to block the attacks from the Bloodline Controller and the Cosmic Wanderer, Leo would have undoubtedly lost.
His fate could only be to be captured by the Bloodline Controller and taken back to the Wizard World, becoming a replication machine for cosmic treasures!!
Luckily, he had already acquired the 003 and Little Bookworm No. 004, otherwise he really wouldn't know how he would have escaped that battle!
"There's still a portion of the soul's essence that hasn't been fully stored. Although the probability is low, we should still be mentally prepared."
Black Soluo reached out and grabbed the Endless Pot, the Black Endless Pot, and the Book of Souls of Little Bookworm No. 003, which appeared before him.
More than 90% of the soul essence of the Returning Breath World resides within their bodies, and there is a high probability that Alice's soul essence is also here. However, it cannot be guaranteed that 100% of it was brought out by them, as 10% of the soul essence remains in the Land of Origin of the Returning Breath World.
"It's alright. The Bloodline Controller has already analyzed our purpose. After we escape, he won't destroy the remaining soul essence; he will definitely bring it back to the Wizard World."
"If we don't have Alice's soul essence here, then it's in the hands of the Bloodline Controller."
Failure at the last moment was a scene Leo did not want to see.
But there was no way; the opponent was too strong, and he couldn't afford to keep going.
His survival is the only way to resurrect Alice. If he insists on delaying for ten days at all costs, not only will Alice not be able to be resurrected, but he will also cease to exist.
"Let's start by restoring the souls from their very origin. Although there are many of them, at least we see hope."
Black Soluo's face twitched at the thought of the two Endless Pot and the amount of soul essence contained inside Little Bookworm No. 003, even though he was Supreme Lord had been promoted from the Lord of Souls.
That was an amount of soul essence that couldn't be measured by quantity; it was so vast that it almost drove him to despair!
"Okay, let's do it this way for now."
There is no shortcut to finding the essence of Alice's soul; we can only repair it one by one. Once Alice's soul is repaired, everything can stop.
Perhaps Alice was the first soul to be restored, or perhaps the last. Of course, it's also possible that none of them were restored, but rather that the souls were in the hands of the Bloodline Controller.
Leo Xiquan could accept things having developed to this point.
As long as I'm alive, there's hope.
The long years taught him to wait!
